A while ago I read an article totalling how much an average persons full face of make up costs. It varied from person to person with individuals who are not involved in the beauty blogging world spending less and those who aspire for a Kardashian inspired look spend more. I thought it would be interesting to compare the total cost of beauty products in YouTube make up tutorials.
I am going to compare 3 videos one from
Vivianna Does Make Up, a Bollywood Sunset tutorial from Pixiewoo and an autumn
make up look from Zoella. Can you guess who will have the most expensive look?
Vivianna Does Makeup: The Birthday Makeup
Menu = £410
Cheapest item is a Rimmel eyeliner for
£3.99. Most expensive an Hourglass palette for £56.
Known for her classy taste and love of Space
NK and Charlotte Tilbury it is no surprise that Vivianna look totals to over
£400. As it is a birthday make up tutorial it is expected that you would use
your most luxurious products on a special occasion to make you feel your fabulous best. Even though
Vivianna prefers the natural look it proves that natural doesn’t mean
inexpensive.
Pixiewoo: Bollywood Sunset Makeup Tutorial
= £263
Surprisingly, professional make up artists Pixie
Woo only spent around £30 more than Zoella on this tutorial. Not sticking to
only a few brands each product is different and have a unique purpose. Despite the look
being bold and ambitious it is noticeably cheaper then the subtle bronzed look
Vivianna created.
Zoella: Autumn Makeup = £227
With a Young fan base Zoella included a range of drugstore and high end make up in order not to alienate her younger viewers. She mixes Nars and Charlotte Tilbury with her all time staple Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for £4.19.
